Marc Emery was the only guy busted by the USA for seed selling to my knowledge…wasn’t Richard of Heaven’s Stairway/OG 1.0 busted by the RCMP for it?
Another reason they went after Marc Emery is apparently because he and some colleagues bought a table at some big DEA conference in British Columbia and heckled the speakers. Just like the CA busts of Tod McMormick and Peter McWilliams they were trying to stop a political movement.
sending seeds out of state is illegal, so is sending them to another country, but when customs finds small quantities they usually just confiscate and send a letter saying your contraband was confiscated, this has been happening for years.
